Thanks to the wonderful folks from Pom Wonderful, we've been enjoying heart healthy pomegranate juice all week. While hubby has been making muscle building protein smoothies in the morning, I thought I'd take a different path and indulge myself with a little bit of booze and an adult cocktail. ...and I thought I was the responsible one.
In an another wonderful foodie package (a very, very late thanks to Elle and the wonderful people at Hola Fruta), I received about 5 cartons of the very best fruit sherbet I think I've ever had. EVER. It's delicious and healthy and smooth and creamy. Coming from an ice cream/frozen yogurt/sherbet aficionado, that means a lot.
In any case, I had the quite brilliant idea to combine rum, pomegranate sherbet, and POM juice to create a quite tasty pretty pink cocktail. I think these would be perfect for a bridal shower, bachelorette party, or any other occasion where pink drinks are more appropriate than not.
Pink Pomegranate Daiquiri
Serving for one
1 shot Bacardi Rum (use more if you're so inclined) :)
2 shots POM Wonderful Pomegranate juice
1/2 cup Hola Fruta Pomegranate Sherbet
2 ice cubes
Combine all in a blender and mix away until smooth!

Sharon this looks fabulous! It's the perfect shade of pink! Good thinking!
That sounds absolutely delicious! It's so beautiful too! Love it!
This looks delicious. I love pomegranate in pretty much any form...
This is such a pretty drink! And it sounds like it tastes great too! These would be perfect for a bachelorette party or bridal shower because of the fabulous pink color :)
Love, love, love it! Looks fabulous!
I could go for this cocktail *right now*. So pretty!
Can I have one? :) It looks so tasty!
oh what a great colour and it must be delicious too :)
Oh baby does that sound refreshing! Great post!
this sounds delightful! i like my alcholic beverages to taste as little like alcohol as possible, and i think the sherbet is a stellar component.
and yes, freebie in the mail is definitely a perk of food blogging. :)
What a fun girlee looking drink! I've loved using the POM too
It would be a hard one to choose over the booze or the protein shakes with POM. Hmmm.....it is almost lake season so I will have to do the protein route. How does he do his?
Looks amazing and awesome flavors!
I am loving my package from POM. Lots of lovely recipes to try and this one looks amazing! I think I just may give this a try.
That would be nice to have in the evening after a long day at work!
It's PINKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! :)
Wow...that looks wonderful! I am a fan of all things pomegranate, so I will definitely have to try this!
Yum, what a great color.
This is the prettiest drink I have ever seen, I love the color!!
It's so pretty and I am sure it was extra tasty too. I love POM.
That looks like the perfect way to combat these crazyhot temps we've been having lately, and I happen to have Pom on hand...
I don't drink alcohol, but pomegranate sherbet, I didn't know. Those would also make a great "virgin" drink! Mmm.
Oh, and last week I made your tuna noodle casserole. It was good and not as I remembered my moms!
Oh My Gosh! That looks like a lovely Spring treat!
Wow, all that pomegranate stuff! You did a great job at finding a way to use both items. Looks tasty!
This looks yummy. I could not agree with you more about enjoying getting these packages. The people who seem to regard it as selling out are missing out!
this looks good! i just love cocktails!
That looks refreshing, and is the same color as my surfboard! hehe :)
Wow, absolutely gorgeous drink and photo. I am amazed x
It's pink and for me it could be a reason to love it but I'm sure it's so tasty too!^^
Unluckly I don't think I'll find the sherbet and the juice you nominated but I'll give a try someway!
By the way on my blog there's a little prize for you!
